There were many notable events in Australia during 1997. Politically, many Liberal Party proposals were frustrated by a few Labor leaders. Sydney's most important issues were the loss of East Circular Quay and airport noise. Several biographies and memoirs made for memorable reading, and the most interesting movies were 'L.A. Confidential' and 'Her Majesty, Mrs. Brown.'
